A team's task process consists of allocation, processing and evaluation of a series of tasks. Team effectiveness emerges from interactions among team members. The interaction...
Hurricanes have caused extensive economic losses and social disruption in the past two decades in the United States. A key component for improving building and infrastructure prac...
We develop a Ranking and Selection procedure for selecting the best configuration based on a transient mean performance measure. The procedure extends the OCBA approach to systems...
